sinomenium acutum/ischemia

Sinomenine (SIN) is a purified alkaloid from the Chinese herb Sinomenium acutum. Previous studies demonstrated that SIN possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. We thus in the present report conducted studies to examine its impact on ischemia reperfusion (IR) induced renal injury.

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can be characterized as an inflammatory response including recruitment of inflammatory cells to a post-ischemic organ or tissue and a cascade of mediators. Sinomenine (SIN), a pure alkaloid extracted from the Chinese medical plant Sinomenium acutum, has been used to

Studies have shown that the inflammatory activation of miroglia (MG) and nuclear factor kappa B ( NF-κB ) play a dominant role in inflammatory response. Previous studies have shown that sinomenine, an anti-inflammatory agent extracted from Sinomenium acutum, can directly protect neurons against
